Knit Two

A warm book about friends and family who stay united thorugh tragedy .

This book the second in the series was as wonderful as the first. All the characters seem so alive as if I personally know them. The characters have lost a loved one and their lives go on amid each of their own struggles.The book is written with warmth and understanding,it is a nice comfortable read. A book you don't want to end , just like the first.

Excellent sequel...ties up loose ends.

I enjoyed this book almost as much at the original. The author does a wonderful job of staying consistant with the characters personalities. Not quite as much of a page-turner as the first, but still an excellent read.

Moving

Dakota Walker is all grown up and in College, still learning how to deal with her mother's death even 5 years later. Dakota feels trapped: everyone expects Dakota will take over the Knitting Store and go to college for Business, but she has bigger dreams of becoming a baker.
Peri has been running the Knitting Store for the past five years and has just finished remodeling it. She also has become quite successful designing her own line of purses and hand bags. Peri is also feeling trapped by the store, having a desire to increase her design line but feeling a responsibility to keep the store going.
Anita has moved in with Stan, happy and thinking about a new marriage. However, her son is opposed to her "new lifestyle" as she is sadden by a secret that she searches to fix.
Luci is a new single mother a very energetic and at times difficult daughter. Luci is also coming to the realization that her mother is getting older than what she once was.
Cat, the long lost best first from Georgia's childhood, feels like an outsider in the Knitting Club. Cat also is moving from man to man, never finding a reason to settle down.
Darwin is a new mother of Twins after years of trying. Unsure of her "motherhood" capabilities she looks to unlikely people.

While Georgia Walker died in the first book of this series, her spirit and character is more present than ever. Each character has been affected by her death in their own way, and each character is learning how to live life and grow with the memories Georgia gave them. Furthermore, this book is about Sisterhood and Friendship, as corny as that sounds. Each woman is able to lean on the other, finding support and honesty.

Beyond the messages that book conveyed I really loved how each character was treated as an equal in terms of development. Kate Jacobs did an amazing job at making sure that each character was given enough time and space to be described. I recommend this book to those who are looking for a heartwarming story, and one that is a quick read but affective just the same.

A good follow up to Friday Night Knitting club

A second book or sequel is very hard to pull off. Knit two had the same lovable characters and was slow to start but if you get past the first two chapters you'll be hooked. I liked it very much and find Kate Jacobs easy and enjoyable to read. The relationships these women have and how they interwine with each other is very true and genuine. If you liked Friday Night Knitting Club then you will like this too.

Wonderfully done!

Sometimes sequels don't live up to their predecessors. This one certainly does it justice. I was worried when Georgia died how they would move on and keep it as riveting as the first, but it really is a touching tale that is worth the read to find out what happens to our characters!

MORE THAN I EXPECTED!

I loved the first book, and expected to be slightly disppointed in the second. Surprise! Character development continued, plot had surprising turns, and although a sequel had originality, too. A great read!!

Just OK

It was interesting to see what happened to the characters 5 years later, but it didn't compare to her first book.

Disappointing follow up

I really liked Friday Night Knitting Club, so was very excited for Knit Two. It was a major let down. Hokey premise and boring.

not what I expected

Author spent too much time explaining the characters - the story didn't get started until the last chapter.

A breath of fresh air!

Kate Jacobs' sequel to "A Friday Night Knitting Club" is as refreshing as a warm breeze on a Spring day and a welcomed mental holiday from the stresses of every day life. Her characters are memorable and endearing. She's a fine writer and I look forward to her next literary contribution.

Glad to catch up w/the girls again...

I found the story entertaining. I really liked the first book, so to find out about what all the characters have been doing and how they have each grown in their own ways was fun!

Picks up where the first one left off

This one does a really good job of tying up the loose ends of the first novel. It reads smoother than the first one too. Great for a book club or a rainy day read.

Great Book

Sequel to Friday Night Knitters which was also a great book. You were able to follow the same characters throughout both books. I would enjoy another one following the same characters in the future.

Good Read

A friend gave me the book to read - she said it was good and it was. A very enjoyable read - kept moving - the different story lines kept your interest plus the characters from 18 to 80 kept it interesting as well.

Well worth reading.

terrible!

A BIG WASTE OF MONEY!

It's not like the first one!

I really enjoyed "Friday Night Knitting Club" and was happy to see that there was a sequel. The happiness ended after about 5 pages. For me, it was flat and lacked any real emotion--something that was in abundance in the first one. I hate to say it, but I wouldn't recommend this book. But, I definitely would recommend the first one!
